Hidden Crown 👑 ( The Secret Of Rajkotia ) ( part - 2 )

" A baby girl , born to the royal family rajkotia , smuggled out of the palace and brought to our orphanage , a secret kept hidden , even from the king and queen . . . "

Abhay's eyes widened as he read the passage again and again .

could this be true ?

he know he had to show this to his brother , Prince Amarthya , immediately .

The Prince Abhay arrived at Prince Amarthya's private residence in Mumbai , the diary clutched in his hand . he was ushered into his brother's study , where Prince Amarthya was working on some documents .

" Amarthya , you need to see this . "

Abhay said , handing him the diary

" I found it in an old trunk . I bought at an auction today . "

Amarthya took the diary , raising an eyebrow .

" what's so special about it . "

Abhay leaned in , his voice low ,

" this is sister Nirmala's diary .

Amarthya's eyes widened slightly .

" sister nirmala ? "

Abhay nodded . " yes , that's her .

and she write's about a baby girl born to our parents but supposedly died at birth . however she hints that the baby might have been smuggled out of the palace and taken to the orphanage . "

Amarthya took the diary , readed the last page about Abhay mentioned .

He scanned the words with the mixture of shock and curiosity . When he finished reading he looked at Abhay .

" this can't be true we could have known if our sister was alive . "

Abhay nodded . " I know that , but what if it is true ? . what if our sister is out there somewhere ? . and what was sister Nirmala's role in all this . "

The brothers sat in silence for a moment .

The only sound the ticking of the clock on the wall .

Finally Prince Amarthya spoke up .

" we need to investigate this further . but we must be careful . if our parents find out , they will Furious . sister Nirmala visited raj kotia several times before her death . maybe , someone who met her can help us . "

Abhay nodded in agreement .

' I will start by asking our staff if they remember anything about her visit . you should try to find out if she had any contacts or friends in Rajkotia who might know something . "

. . . . .

Prince Amarthya and Prince Abhay spent the entire day investigating .

but they didn't get any information about their sister . They spoke to the palace staffs , guards , and even some of the villagers . but no one seemed to know anything .

The brothers met again in the evening , looking frustrated and disappointed .

" I didn't get anything , "

Prince Abhay said.

" No one remembers anything about Sister Nirmala's visits or any suspicious activity around the time our sister was supposed to have died . "

Prince Amarthya shook his head .

" I didn't get anything either . It's like Sister Nirmala never existed , except for this diary . "

The brothers sat in silence for a moment , thinking .

Then Prince Amarthya spoke up .

" We need to think of something else . Maybe there's another way to find out what happened to our sister . "

. . . . . . . . . .

* * The King and Queen's Sorrow * *

. . . . . .

In their chambers , King Rajendra and Queen Padmini sat together , holding hands and looking at an old photo album . They were reminiscing about their daughter who had supposedly died at birth.

" We never got to see her face , "

the queen said , her voice filled with sorrow .

" We never got to hold her in our arms . "

The king nodded, his eyes filled with tears.

" I remember the day she was born . The midwife told us she didn't survive . We were devastated . "

The queen wiped away her tears .

" We never even got to name her . She was just . . . gone . "

The king put his arm around the queen, pulling her close .

" We have our sons , Amarthya and Abhay . They are our world now . "

The queen nodded , but her eyes were still filled with sadness .

" I know . But sometimes I wonder . . . what if . "

The queen ' s voice trailed off , and the king looked at her curiously .

" What if what , my dear ? "

he asked gently.

The queen sighed.

" What if our daughter had lived ? What would she be like now ? Would she be happy ? Would she have found love and had children of her own ? "

The king's expression turned thoughtful .

" We'll never know , "

he said softly .

" But we have to focus on the children we do have . Amarthya and Abhay need us to be strong for them . "

The queen nodded, but her eyes were still filled with tears .

" I know . I just wish . . . sometimes I wish we had been given the chance to know our daughter , to see her grow up and live her life . "

. . . . . . .

* *The Kingdom of Kalinga * *

In the kingdom of Kalinga , Prince Rudra was training in the art of sword fighting with his trusted friend and advisor , Lord Vikram . Prince Rudra was a skilled warrior , and Lord Vikram was helping him perfect his technique .

As they trained , Lord Vikram mentioned a rumor he had heard.

" . . . there is a rumor about a young woman who is somehow connected to the royal family of Rajkotia . I don't know the details , but it seems like a sensitive matter . "

Prince Rudra's eyes narrowed .

" A sensitive matter ? What do you mean ? "

Lord Vikram leaned in closer .

" I'm not entirely sure , but I think it might have something to do with the king and queen's deceased daughter . Maybe there's more to the story than we . . . "

Prince Rudra's eyes widened in surprise .

" Their deceased daughter ? I thought she died at birth . "

Lord Vikram nodded .

" That's what everyone thinks . But like I said , I don't know the details . Maybe it's just a rumor . But if it's true . . . it could be big . "

Prince Rudra thought for a moment .

" I'll look into it . Discreetly , of course . If this rumor is true , it could affect the entire kingdom of Rajkotia . "

Prince Rudra decided to keep the rumor a secret for now .

He didn't want to alarm his parents or the people of Kalinga without knowing the truth .

Instead , he focused on his royal duties and training . But his mind kept wandering back to the rumor . He couldn't shake the feeling that there was some truth to it .

As he trained with Lord Vikram , Prince Rudra asked him to find out more about the rumor .

" Discreetly , "

he added.

" I don't want anyone to know we're investigating . "

Arpitha was sitting in her college library , studying for her exams . She was a bright student , always eager to learn and do well . As she studied , she couldn't help but feel a sense of restlessness . She had been feeling this way for weeks now, like something was missing in her life .

Arpitha looked up from her books and gazed out the window . She saw people walking by, going about their daily lives . She felt a pang of jealousy .

Why couldn't she be like them ? Carefree and happy ?

Arpitha sighed and turned back to her books . She had to focus on her studies . But her mind kept wandering back to the feeling of restlessness . What was missing in her restless . . . . .

Today , she was on her way to the market to buy some groceries when she suddenly felt dizzy and fell down .

Two men rushed to her side to help her up . They were both handsome , with kind faces . One had a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes , while the other had a softer face and warm brown eyes .

" Are you okay ? "

the man with blue eyes asked , helping Arpitha sit up .

Arpitha nodded , still feeling a bit dazed .

" Y-yes . Thank you . I just got dizzy for a second . "

The man with brown eyes smiled .

" Do you want us to walk you home ? You might need to rest . "
